Would be great to sell my 2010 6 core but I have 32GB of RAM that I could use in the new machine, any guesses to if it would work?

It's almost a stupid question, I know, but any ideas?

It should physically plug in. The issues that come up revolve around the speed of the RAM, if it's slower than what the system is designed for, at best it would slow the system down a tad.

At worst, it would actually not work. Systems are designed to handle a range of RAM speeds. Get ram that is slower than that range it won't work. Ram that is faster than the range will usually (but not always) work at the speed the system is designed for.

I know about such sellers, but often the Apple compatible RAM is a lot more expensive than other websites. Crucial is selling their 3X4GB for more than 200$, and I can get the same deal on newegg.ca (I live in Quebec), for Corsair memory, for 100$.

It doesn't say Apple compatible, but as my MP is Intel based, it "should" work. But will it?
